Once oil is down there it could have gone anywhere. Ask me how I know.

My oil cooler leaked of course, haha. It got all over all the under panels. I also had an issue at the track this weekend where my catch can overflowed multiple times and got oil everywhere as well. Not looking forward to cleaning that up.

Wow, so much speculation and attacks in here. Keep calm and wait until further information comes in.
OP: It doesn't take a master mechanic to determine if you blew out a rocker cover, leaking from the cam plate, or popped a line from the oil cooler. Grab a flashlight and throw this thread an update! Cheers. |

I have gone through 4 maps already on my recently JDL turbo'd BRZ. They wouldn't be in business if they were just throwing maps to people without any adjustment. Sure they aren't adjusting for the max amount of power but there tune is meant to deliver as much power efficiently without having to go to a dyno that is safe for your car. I have seen my fair share of motors blow up with dyno tunes as well...there are so many factors, especially this car that was never meant to see FI in the first place. |

However, if the block is cracked/unsalvageable, that would mean an engine AND internals. That's right around my pain point if I get a used engine, well beyond it if I go new. At that point, I would consider leaving the engine N/A and looking at a different platform. There's also the potential for fuel system upgrades and a custom tune to consider as well. If I'm staying F/I, I'm going to make it as bulletproof as I can. Quote:

Ummmm you are aware that that is EXACTLY what the OEMs do, right? Tuning on the ragged edge and trying to get the absolute most out of the engine is great for dyno sheets, but bad for durability, reliability, and frankly for business. This is why it's best to ignore "hero" dyno sheets and get dynos from cars that are actually driven hard. |

I bet you its the cam seal plate as mentioned above. In the section on this forum about recalls, their is a way to find out. Numbers listed on your cars vin will tell you which production number you own. If the numbers listed are before the recall (which was corrected later) your car may have the issue . if so, you may be covered under your warranty if you can prove its not the result of your Super charger. Gl keep us posted

The guys at the shop let me put it on an empty lift so I could get a look under the engine. ..so much oil.. It's going to suck to clean.
Anyways, got the skid plate off and I didn't have to pull the header. SO FAR, before the engine's been pulled, the winner is..... *drumroll* Quote:
Nailed it. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess oil starvation. The course at the event was very right-turn heavy, including a banked turn. With no downforce or slicks I didn't think I'd have to worry about this, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Hopefully someone's figured out a solution to this, or I'm just not going to be able to run there again. So, if I'm somewhat lucky, I just need a head and I'm back and running. When the engine comes out, I'll know for sure. But for now I don't think I'll be needing the replacement engines I've sourced. |

@Draco-REX oil starvation might not have been the culprit. there's an, as of right now, uncommon factory defect of the "pin" that holds the rocker arm failing and backing out of the rocker arm. This happened to element tuning and they now offer a fix for it with their headwork.
Hopefully that's all your problem is, should be an easy fix for you if that's all it is. Keep us posted as you rip into it some more. |
